Hard to tell, but if in doubt I wouldn't use it. Batteries are inexpensive from reputable suppliers. I am partial to IMRbatteries.com, good service, great prices and they are a trusted vendor.

For more on batteries including where to buy could check out this blog, there is a chart listing all batteries that have been tested and in the bottom cell you can find a list of trusted suppliers. I'd insert the chart but have had little success doing so. Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum

Thanks for advice I'm checking Mooch tests, but in my country it's hard to know where buy oryginal batteries. I'm vaping on them in Athena mech squonk at 0.15 and they dont't even get warm.

Even if they're original, you're exceeding the cdr of those batteries. And that's assuming that the resistance reading is correct, which is far from a safe bet (no resistance meter is accurate at such low resistances). Not the best of ideas.

I'm with KenD on this one. If you don't know how to match ohms, amp draw, and amp limits, use this guide:

That makes no sense. Machinery to make batteries, but not to print?
It's almost impossible to tell a fake from genuine just by looking. The only way is to test and compare its performance against known specs for that cell.

I am sorry, but it is not 100% correct. It is very complicated to copy a battery for 100%. The fake Sony batteries I saw were just fake types of Sony, means one took lets say VTC5 and rebranded it as VTC5A, or took NC1 and rebranded it into VTC6...The same I saw with LG MG1 (2900 mAh / 3C) turning into HG2. The typical Plus size of a manufacturer with the Ventile holes stays the same.
In the cases I saw the shrinks were fake and the print on the body of the battery has been erased (so one can´t see anything through the shrink).
Some years ago I used to test mobile phone batteries. I gained some experience (unfortunately) in the way criminals in China think and work.
